Among the eight most recent funded entries tied to “Kent,” the largest disclosed round is Stoke Space’s $510M Series D on 2025-10-09, which dwarfs all other disclosed amounts on the page (the next-largest disclosed is Origin’s $21M on 2025-05-14). Date-wise, there is a tight top-end clustering: three of the eight rounds close between 2025-05-14 and 2025-10-09 (Origin 2025-05-14, PowerLight Technologies 2024-08-14 is earlier, and Stoke Space 2025-10-09), while the oldest shown entry is Kent Displays’ $400K Grant on 2021-08-17.
Geographically, Kent Washington appears repeatedly (Stoke Space 2025-10-09, PowerLight Technologies 2024-08-14, and TicketsOAir 2023-08-10), but the list is also split across Kent, United Kingdom and Kent, Ohio. Sector coverage is sparse—no single sector repeats across 3+ entries—and staging is split between disclosed labeled rounds and “Series Unknown” (three “Series Unknown” rows) plus one “undisclosed” amount (TicketsOAir, 2023-08-10).

Frequently asked
What is the largest disclosed round among these Kent entries, and how far ahead is it of the rest?
Stoke Space’s $510M Series D (2025-10-09) is the only disclosed round above $50M and it significantly outstrips the next-largest disclosed amount: Origin’s $21M Series A on 2025-05-14.
Which cities dominate the list, and are the same “Kent” locations recurring?
Kent, Washington is the most repeated geography, appearing for Stoke Space (2025-10-09, $510M), PowerLight Technologies (2024-08-14, $5M), and TicketsOAir (2023-08-10, undisclosed). Kent, United Kingdom also appears multiple times (Origin, The Herde, Sova Assessment, Roadfill), while Kent, Ohio is represented by Kent Displays (2021-08-17, $400K).
Are there concentration patterns in the most recent part of the timeline?
The two most recent disclosed rounds are Origin ($21M Series A on 2025-05-14) and Stoke Space ($510M Series D on 2025-10-09). Beyond that spike, the remaining dates stretch from 2024-08-14 (PowerLight Technologies) down to 2021-08-17 (Kent Displays), indicating less clustering after 2025.
How does stage disclosure look across these eight entries (including “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed”)?
Three of the eight rows are labeled “Series Unknown” (PowerLight Technologies 2024-08-14, TicketsOAir 2023-08-10, The Herde 2023-05-09). One additional row is explicitly “undisclosed” in the amount field (TicketsOAir, 2023-08-10), while the remaining rows have labeled stages such as Series A, Series D, Equity Crowdfunding, and Grant.
Which sectors appear most frequently enough to suggest a pattern?
No sector repeats across 3+ entries. The closest repeats are “Administrative Services” (Origin 2025-05-14, Sova Assessment 2022-02-02) and “Software/Business” adjacent categories appear only once each in this slice (TicketsOAir is Software; The Herde is Business Consulting and Services).
Is there a clear outlier beyond the largest dollar round (sector or geography)?
Yes. Kent Displays’ Grant ($400K on 2021-08-17 in Kent, Ohio) sits near the lower end of disclosed amounts, while the largest funding is in Kent, Washington (Stoke Space $510M on 2025-10-09). PowerLight Technologies’ $5M (2024-08-14, Kent Washington) also stays far below the $21M-to-$510M band set by Origin and Stoke Space.
